My cowboy boot poster is completed and for sale. I only have a few in stock because I wanted to see the actual poster before I committed to more. It’s great, the website will allow you to backorder, and more are on the way!

Interesting bit of history: A very similar tulip stitch is traditional for a kind of Hungarian boot also.
